Wonderkid Centre Mids
Each and every player in this list will be a maximum of 19-years-old.
There are plenty of big names in here, including one who has the very best potential of any youngster in FM21.
Let's get stuck in.
Eduardo Camavinga (CA 136 - PA 170-200)
Age: 17
Position: DM, MC
Club: Stade Rennais FC
Value: £20M
Camavinga may just be 17-years-old, but he is a MUST HAVE signing on FM21 this year.
The Frenchman is the only player in this years sim to have a PA range of 170-200. You may baulk at the £20M valuation but trust us, you won't regret it!
Pedri (CA 138 - PA 160-190)
Age: 17
Position: MC, AM (RLC)
Club: FC Barcelona
Value: £11M
Another name that we'll be talking about come the end of FM21 is Barcelona's Pedri.
The Spaniard is held in high regard by the higher powers at the Camp Nou, so getting hold of him won't be easy. But his versatility and high potential makes him one to go all out for.
Yusuf Demir (CA 115 - PA 160-190)
Age: 17
Position: AM (RC), ST C
Club: Rapid Vienna
Value: £1.1M
A potential bargain for those who are after an attacking minded midfielder!
17-year-old Yusuf Demir has a similar ceiling in terms of potential as Barcelona's Pedri but comes at a fraction of the cost. His ability to play out and out striker will be a big boost to those who are struggling to find the back of the net!
Dominik Szoboszlai (CA 140 - PA 150-180)
Age: 19
Position: MC, ML, AM C
Club: RB Salzburg
Value: £7.25M
If you're after a pacey central midfielder to leave the opposition in their wake then look no further.
Salzburg's Dominik Szoboszlai has gas to burn (16-20 pace) and despite being just 19-years-old, the Hungarian already has international experience which should stand him in good stead for a move to one of Europe's elite clubs.
Salzburg will be reluctant to let him go, but he's worth going after if you can pick him up for the right price!
Jude Bellingham (CA 129 - PA 150-180)
Age: 17
Position: AMC, M/AM (RL)
Club: Borussia Dortmund
Value: £2.7M
Dortmund's incredible transfer strategy struck again this summer, as they picked up the highly sought after Jude Bellingham.
The Englishman joins fellow young talents Jadon Sancho and Erling Braut Haaland at the Signal Iduna Park. He's only just signed so you won't be able to pick him up straight away. A Dortmund save could work though?
Ryan Gravenberch (CA 124 - PA 150-180)
Age: 18
Position: MC, AMC, DM
Club: Ajax
Value: £4.7M
Now if we're talking versatility across the centre of the park, then Ryan Gravenberch is a name we must mention.
The Ajax youngster is most comfortable at either centre midfield or attacking midfield but he can equally drop deeper if need be which is a great outlet to have if you're clinging on to a one-goal advantage!
Ajax are known for developing some incredible young talent, and it looks as though Gravenberch could be their next big money departure.
Manuel Ugarte (CA 130 - PA 140-170)
Age: 19
Position: DM, MC
Club: Fenix
Value: £1.1M
The final name on the list is Fenix's young defensive midfielder, Manuel Ugarte.
The 19-year-old Uruguayan is an out and out defensive-minded midfielder who has quickly established himself as one of the main men at Fenix.
His £1.1M valuation is fair given league he is currently playing in. He could prove to be an absolute steal if he gets the game time.
